General Quotations about Gifts to Help You Choose the Best Retirement Gift

Keep in mind that whenever we think of giving gifts, whether retirement-related or otherwise, we
usually think of giving physical objects. There are many gifts that are much better, however. Think about the best
gifts that you have ever been given by your relatives, friends, or others, and you will undoubtedly reflect about
acts that touched your heart and sole.

Ever since Eve gave Adam the apple, there has been a misunderstanding between the sexes
about gifts.
— Nan Robertson

The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it
excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.

— Colleen Zaruba

Each day provides its own gifts.
— Marcus Aurelius

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us is valuable,
worth listening to, worthy of
our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous
delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
— e.e. cummings

May you have the greatest two gifts of all on these holidays; someone to love and
someone who loves you.
— John Sinor

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it
and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it;
really look after it and nurture it.
— John Lennon

Every gift, though it be small, is in reality great if given with affection.

— Pindar

If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be Enthusiasm.

Clock. No Commute. No Problem.

“To be sure, retirement
books are a glutted field, but most focus on money and financial planning. They view the finish
line as the last day of employment. That’s where How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free
begins.”— Jonathan Chevreau, Retirement Columnist, National Post

When we think of giving gifts — whether
retirement gifts or any other types of gifts such as Mother's Day Gifts— to our friends, our colleagues, our teachers, or our mothers we usually
think of giving material objects.

There are much better retirement gifts, however. Reflect back on the best gifts that you have
ever been given by your friends or relatives and you will likely think of acts that touched your heart and
sole.

Taking this into account, there are many non-material gifts that you can give as retirement
gifts:

The gift of humor and lightness

The gift of integrity

The gift of kindness

The gift of caring.

The gift of love

As Kevin Stith states, "Retirement gifts always make a retiree feel very special."

You can say it with flowers
You can say it with wine
But to make her stinkin' sentimental
Say it with a Lincoln Continental.
